My script is not working altho has no errors in output.

[tawny bear]

i tried it it does not print for some reason

[full dagger]

** You are now Level 4! **

[tawny bear]

no errors in output.

[pale saffron]

Where does it not print?

[full dagger]

** You are now Level 3! **

[tawny bear]

when player leaves

it does not print anywhere

[pale saffron]

Oh okay.

Try add a print add the beginning of the .Removing event just to make sure that works

[tawny bear]

k

1 min

[pale saffron]

otherwise it's probably because your "Folder:FindFirstChild(name)" isn't true

if Folder:FindFirstChild(name) then

[tawny bear]

playerremoving?

[pale saffron]

yeah try that

[tawny bear]

i put it in the first line

[pale saffron]

Mhm

can you send screenshot of the script?

You sure there's no errors? this line seems weird: for i, name in inventory do

[tawny bear]

well bassically inventory is a variable that gets data, a table data

[pale saffron]

yeah well you would use in pairs(inventory)

[tawny bear]

it printed

[pale saffron]

screenshot code

[tawny bear]

i did but it failed

[pale saffron]

Hm wdym?

can't you screenshot

[pale saffron]

Okay so first of there's a visible error

lowercase the "I" on whatever line that is

[tawny bear]

oh ill change that

[full dagger]

** You are now Level 5! **

[pale saffron]

because the "item" property isn't with a uppercase I

yeah

If you got one of those red marks it means your script has a clear error that needs to be fixed

[tawny bear]

still didn't print

or do its assigned thing

[pale saffron]

okay it didn't print the first line?

[tawny bear]

idk its supposed to get all BP children names and add them to the table

but when i leave it does not save anything

Or when i join it does not do anything

[pale saffron]

Okay, but it does detect you've left?

[tawny bear]

yea in PlayerRemoving

Event

[pale saffron]

alr

And are there even any objects in the BP?

[tawny bear]

plr.Backpack

[pale saffron]

yeah

are there any tools there to be saved

when you test

[tawny bear]

yes

[pale saffron]

Okay.

[tawny bear]

i use a tool

[pale saffron]

Change the pairs to "ipairs"

[tawny bear]

k ill try

nope same

[pale saffron]

No output except the first print ?

no errors?

[tawny bear]

yes

[pale saffron]

try print BP:GetChildren() and show me

[tawny bear]

k

no prints

[pale saffron]

huh

[tawny bear]

i don't think u can print objects

[tawny bear]

do u know how to make saving inventory scripts?

[pale saffron]

try this

game:GetService("Players").PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
print("Player:", Player, "has discoonected.")
print(Player.Backpack:GetChildren())

local char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Items = {}

for _, Object in ipairs(Player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
    print(Object)
    
    if Object then
        print("Object is a tool!")
        table.insert(Items,Object.Name)
        print("saved",Object,"for",Player)
    end
    
end

MainData:SetAsync(Player.UserId,Items)

end)

[pale saffron]

yes.

replace the removingevent

[tawny bear]

TEACH ME

[pale saffron]

with what I sent

and show me the prints

[tawny bear]

ok i did

[pale saffron]

wait I had 1 error in the script wait

can you show it all?

expand the table as well

[tawny bear]

k

[pale saffron]

game:GetService("Players").PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
print("Player:", Player, "has discoonected.")
print(Player.Backpack:GetChildren())

local char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Items = {}

for _, Object in ipairs(Player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
    print(Object)
    
    if Object:IsA("Tool") then
        print("Object is a tool!")
        table.insert(Items,Object.Name)
        print("saved",Object,"for",Player)
    end
end

print(#Items)

MainData:SetAsync(Player.UserId,Items)

end)

replace with that

screenshot the whole output

[tawny bear]

table is empty

altho i had smth

in my backpack

[pale saffron]

Hm that's strange

Is this a serverscript?

[tawny bear]

yes

[pale saffron]

ok, and how is the tool added?

to the backpack

[tawny bear]

by picking it up

[pale saffron]

Is it a server script giving you the tool?

or a localscript

[tawny bear]

its a normal pickable tool

[pale saffron]

oh ok.

[tawny bear]

do i make a script for it to be picked up?

using a server script

[pale saffron]

No shouldn't be needed

[full dagger]

** You are now Level 4! **

[tawny bear]

oh

[pale saffron]

If you check in the explorer while in-game

wait

1 thing

When you discoonect from the game

Is the tool equipped in your hand?

[tawny bear]

nope

[pale saffron]

So it's in the roblox backpack hotbar

as a tool

[tawny bear]

i sometimes equip it and leave

[pale saffron]

Ok, try unequip and then leave

[tawny bear]

k]

[pale saffron]

then look at the output

[tawny bear]

same

[pale saffron]

Nothing?

[tawny bear]

yep same

[pale saffron]

Ok, try check inside the property table if the item is there

[tawny bear]

k

[pale saffron]

first from a local view then from a server view

2 sec let me show u

[tawny bear]

ok

[tawny bear]

from client view its in the backpack and the same for server view

[pale saffron]

And there's a tool inside there?

[tawny bear]

yes

[pale saffron]

try print the players backpack randomly while in-game

[tawny bear]

objects can't be printed tho

[pale saffron]

like after 20 secs just a simple print

they can

[tawny bear]

how?

[pale saffron]

?

Just

[tawny bear]

Print(backpack)?

[pale saffron]

print(Workspace.Part)

no

[tawny bear]

k

[pale saffron]

that would only print "backpack"

print backpack:getchildren()

[tawny bear]

it does not print its children

[pale saffron]

bc you don't do Backpack:GetChildren()

[tawny bear]

i did

[pale saffron]

would print a table, also why is it local?

[tawny bear]

wdym

[pale saffron]

it's printed from the client

a local script

printing something with :GetChildren() should always print a table idk what have happened

[tawny bear]

oh k ill try

same thing from server

[pale saffron]

god damn

that's super strange

[tawny bear]

sorry i caused u alot of trouble

[pale saffron]

tried the script myself, worked fine

nah it's fine

[tawny bear]

u sure its my entire same script?

send urs if u don't mind

[pale saffron]

Try go to the server, add a tool property and then leave

I'm using your script, the part I sent to you

it works

[tawny bear]

u have the folder?

in Server storage

[pale saffron]

try:

game:GetService("Players").PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
print("Player:", Player, "has discoonected.")
print(Player.Backpack:GetChildren())

local Items = {}

for _, Object in ipairs(Player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
    print(Object)
    
    if Object:IsA("Tool") then
        print("Object is a tool!")
        table.insert(Items,Object.Name)
        print("saved",Object,"for",Player)
    end
end

print(#Items)

MainData:SetAsync(Player.UserId,Items)

end)

see prints, with tool

[tawny bear]

do i try chat gpt troubleshoot ?

[pale saffron]

no

[tawny bear]

k

[pale saffron]

try what I sent u

[tawny bear]

k

IT PRINTED

[full dagger]

** You are now Level 6! **

[tawny bear]

OBJECT IS A TOOL

[pale saffron]

yess

nice

[tawny bear]

AND 1

[pale saffron]

yeah

amount of items saved

[tawny bear]

says it gave me tho it didn't lol

backpack problem

ill fix it

[tawny bear]

what did u change?

TELL ME

[pale saffron]

u sure? I can do it if u want

just send the script

I removed a line

you had a line waiting for the character

however as the character already has been removed it was waiting in forever

idk why it was there, didn't notice it at first lol

[tawny bear]

so it was waiting

forever

for the character?

[pale saffron]

Yeah, you had smth like:

local Character = plr.character or Character.CharacterAdded:Wait()

[full dagger]

** You are now Level 5! **

[pale saffron]

however

you had already left so the character would never be found

[tawny bear]

yea it was like that

[pale saffron]

and it would wait forever

[tawny bear]

DANG

THAT WAS THE PROBLEM AND I WAS TROUBLESHOOTING IT FOR 2 DAYS?

[pale saffron]

haha seriously?

[tawny bear]

bro ur a lifesaver

[pale saffron]

wow

I didn't even notice that line at first tbh

Well

If you would like to I'll fix the other part too

[pale saffron]

thx

[tawny bear]

i never thought it was the problem i thought it was a fix

since it printed nil for char

everytime

but wait i removed the char part

why did i keep the variable

💀

[viscid drum]

[pale saffron]

idk why would would ever want to use the character in that script tbh

1 reason could be to unequip all tools tho

[tawny bear]

I saw a yt tutorial

that used the same as this

[pale saffron]

as tools that are equipped are inside the character, and not saved

[tawny bear]

but used char and backpack

[pale saffron]

Yeah, if the player has a tool equipped it won't be saved with this script

as the tool is inside the character, not the backpack when it's equipped

[tawny bear]

so what do i do?

i gotta use char

but

its nil when its in

bc plr loads faster than char

so it identifies as nil

char

[viscid drum]

what

show code

[tawny bear]

some guy suggested me to use repeat wait() until char

game:GetService("Players").PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
    print("Player:", Player, "has discoonected.")
    print(Player.Backpack:GetChildren())

    local Items = {}

    for _, Object in ipairs(Player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
        print(Object)

        if Object:IsA("Tool") then
            print("Object is a tool!")
            table.insert(Items,Object.Name)
            print("saved",Object,"for",Player)
        end
    end

    print(#Items)

    MainData:SetAsync(Player.UserId,Items)
end)

[pale saffron]

You'll just do CharacterRemoving first then the PlayerRemoving I'd say

[tawny bear]

so i use char as charremoving?

variable

[pale saffron]

let me cook hold on

[tawny bear]

smells good

[tawny bear]

u there

[pale saffron]

yo

sorry

had to do smth rq

I'll do it now hold on

[tawny bear]

k np sry

[pale saffron]

alr

I think dinner is ready

try this

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)

local Items = {}

Player.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function(Character)
    local CharacterChildren = Character:GetChildren()
    
    for _, Obj in ipairs(CharacterChildren) do
        if Obj:IsA("Tool") then
            table.insert(Items, Obj.Name)
        end
    end
end)

Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
    table.clear(Items)
end)

game:GetService("Players").PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
    print("Player:", Player, "has discoonected.")
    print(Player.Backpack:GetChildren())
    for _, Object in ipairs(Player.Backpack:GetChildren()) do
        print(Object)

        if Object:IsA("Tool") then
            print("Object is a tool!")
            table.insert(Items,Object.Name)
            print("saved",Object,"for",Player)
        end
    end

    print(#Items)


    MainData:SetAsync(Player.UserId,Items)
end)

end)

just switch out the playerremoving part to this

and try to equip 1 tool and see if it saves
